“The Things Mommy Taught Oh, my child! You are beautiful, without a doubt Love the person you are Look in the mirror with a smile Seek after things that matter Allow nothing to ruin your good heart Shun anything wicked for you to hear Listen, so you too can be heard Choose to be of good influence Invest in a better tomorrow Become no one’s shadow Learn not to be shallow Lead so others can follow Let go of what brings you sorrow Know where to find joy Even when I am gone Remain strong In the storm, do not get lost Fix your eyes upon the Lord Fill your mind with the Word of God For in it are infinite wells of wisdom Hold on to His promises Pursue your purpose Say a prayer Make sure you prosper Each day on this Earth Remember the things Mommy taught” MotherGift Gugu Mona PhilosophyGift Gugu Mona LibraryChildGood HeartGift Gugu Mona PoemsParenting PoemsGood InfluenceThe Things Mommy Taught Book:From My Mother's Classroom: A Badge of Honour for a Remarkable Woman Source: From My Mother's Classroom: A Badge of Honour for a Remarkable Woman
